Ooh, just a little too big. Great bike, great price! That silver Athena group with the compact crank is really nice modern upgrade for a classic frame.

Correct. very easy to return to a period correct Shimano or Campagnolo 2x7 drivetrain since the original wheels are included. The handlebars are original and the stem is an NOS identical replacement for the original.

I have had 2 mid-80's SLX Merckx in the identical frame size.
With 25mm Veloflex tubulars @105psi = paved roads disappear. 28mm Veloflex and the ride is cloud-like.
campa appropriate.
